I went to Marche last April and it was quite good. The chef has a light hand with seasoning so the ingredient really shines through. I can’t remember exactly what I had, but I did remember the seafood dishes were better...

I’d be remiss if I didn’t point you toward Cafe Margaux (765 Bayou Pines East, Lake Charles, LA 70601), owned by my chef friend, DC Flynt MW. Cuisine is French with some creole/cajun influences Haven’t eaten...

At SHiro’s they seem to save the o-toro for their “preferred” (e.g. tasting menu) customers. Once I asked for o-toro and they said they didn’t have any, then I saw the tasting-menu chef give some out,...

I agree whole-heartedly about the tasting menu. Be prepared to spend a lot of time, and ask for the sommelier (Brad) to pair wines with each course. He did a special tasting menu for me one night and although I was overwhelmed...

I know many chowhounds are fans of Wing’s Kitchen in Chinatown. No dispute here, but I also suggest giving Chef Chang’s on the Boston/Brookline line its due. The Peking Duck is excellent, carved tableside by a chef...

If you haven’t seen Maria Hunt’s column in today’s U/T (link below), the exec. chef at Arterra has tendered his resignation and moved on. Brad Ogden’s lease agreement with Marriott is now up as...

I think you mean Chef de Cuisine, The executive chef at the Catch should be Brad Horen. Don’t get me wrong Chef the Cuisine is pretty much the Executive Sous Chef or the second in command in the kitchen. I have never meet...

I think I’d agree with Brad's suggestions. If there were no pecans, perhaps a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, but not with them.

What whiner and brad said.

I had my first Brouilly in Paris last week — we enjoyed it with a fine entrecote (and it was amazing with the fresh strawberries we had for dessert.) Are there some that people like? I understand this is a Beaujolais, ne...

Brad - you are very forgiving. I don’t like being totally smushed, and it seems that all too many hip places in cool locations like Prune or 71 Clinton Fresh Food treat breathing space as superfluous to the dining...

Last night my wife and I ate at Saporissimo in Boca Raton, and today I feel compelled to tell my fellow chowhounders about my experience. Although the decor leaves a bit to be desired, you forget about that as soon as the chef...

Went to le Soir last night for a goodbye dinner with some friends who are moving south. Decided to have the chefs tasting menu with wine ($85). The room was mostly empty for the evening with a max of 7 tables and a party in the...
